Just found out I'll be playing to ~5,000 people!

[Larry]

Good Luck. Need BFR action shots

 

[jeffrey]

Well I'm home! Finally!

The gig went really well I think. We had really good crowd response and seemed to really get people's attention. The sound was awesome! I can't remember EVER having monitors that good.

A buddy of mine took lots of pics but it was very dark, hopefully some came out. I will most definitely post them up when I get them.

 

[the24thfret]

awesome! congrats! really look forward to the pictures!!!

 

[Wide'Iwas]

Yeah.

I've played plenty of shows (around 3500 to date probably), so I'm not worried about nerves or anything, I just want to play well!

So I will be practicing my ass off.

does the 3500 = people or does it = shows? 3500 shows is insane thats like a show every day ..365 days a year X 10 years..

 

[jeffrey]

That's shows.

I've been gigging for about 20 years, so it's not that big a stretch especially considering I was in an original band, a cover and and a union musician all at the same time for the better part of a decade.

Awesome! Can't wait to see pics, even if they suck

 

[jeffrey]

They'll only suck because I'm in'em.

 

[73h Nils]

hehe.

 

[brentrocks]

cant wait to see the pics man!!!

 

[Headstock]

Pix, Pix, Pix, Pix!!!!!

 

[jeffrey]

I'm waitin for the pics myself. :\

 

[jeffrey]

Pics finally.

It was VERY dark. Since we had to setup in front of the headlining band, the lights were 'behind' us so to speak, so there's not many really good pictures except for the drummer! He got tons of lights.

Anyway, here's some that I think came out kind of cool or just good in general.

(Sorry for the large images, I'm linking from my friend's Flickr that took the pics and it's the only size he posted)

That's about it really! Sorry for the poor quality/low light, Tony did a great job with what he had.

All in all though, it was an awesome show and we had a TON of fun. The A&R rep for the headlining act (from Atlantic Records) was watching us the whole time and asked me for contact information, so ya never know!

There's this little thing that you can hook up to a camera to help this. It's called a flash!!!
Looks like a good time. Are you sure there was 5000 people!? I only see a handful.
Jeffrey, the BFR looks sweet!!!!

 

[Big Poppa]

his forearms look bigger than JP's though....

 

[kbaim]

What? No Timmy (#21) jersey?

 

[jeffrey]

I have a Duncan jersey too.

 

[jeffrey]

Are you sure there was 5000 people!?

By the time we played there was probably only around 2500 people. The place is huge, you can't see but maybe ~1/4th of it in the pictures. Right in front of the stage I'd say we had a solid few hundred for the entire set, but they have a "lawn" area where hundreds of people had chairs and blankets and all kinds of stuff set up that wraps around the whole place.

 

[greenwizard]

Nice rig!!
What head are you running into the mesa cab?

 

[jeffrey]

Rivera TBR-1SL. It's a stereo 60w rackmount head (so 120w total).

Really unique tone, I love the thing. Got it for almost nothing ($350) on consignment at a local music store.
